Allright… how to tell phpbb that it should shorten the links so the layout keeps in tact?

Its fairly easy.

[code:1:e1ea34582e]OPEN
includes/bbcode.php

FIND
# around line 643 in the function make_clickable($text)
return($ret);
}

BEFORE, ADD
$ret = preg_replace("/<a href=(.*?)>(.*?)</a>/ie", "(strlen("\2") > 55 && !eregi("<", "\2") ) ? ‘<a href=’.stripslashes("\1").’>’.substr("\2", 0, 39) . ‘…’ . substr("\2", -10).'</a>’ : ‘<a href=’.stripslashes("\1").’>’."\2".'</a>’", $ret);[/code:1:e1ea34582e]

Example output:
